Note: Pressing the Finish button the wizard can be finished in any step. The group will be created and the “skipped” fields will be filled with default values.

This step defines all desired email accounts (aliases) of the group. There might be no address assigned to the group (unlike user accounts, the group address is not created automatically from the group name and domain where the group is defined).

Group addresses can be defined either in group definitions or in the Domain Settings → Aliases section. The first method is recommended — it is easier.

Note: If user accounts are maintained in Active Directory (see chapter 7.6  Setting of Directory Services), their aliases can be defined in Active Directory Users and Computers. Global aliases (in Domain Settings → Aliases) cannot be defined this way.

Using the Add and Remove buttons you can add or remove users to/from the group. If there are no user accounts created, a group may remain empty and users will be assigned to it when their user accounts are defined (see chapter 13.2  Creating a user account).

The group must be assigned one of the following three levels of access rights:

Group access rights are combined with user access rights. This implies that resulting user rights correspond either with their own rights or with rights of the appropriate group according to which ones have higher priority.
